Gift voucher for diving course OWD

The OWD diving course is a basic course in instrument diving. You will learn the basic skills and learn the necessary theory to dive. At the end of the OWD course, you will receive the SSI international certification, which entitles you to dive independently to a depth of 18 meters. The OWD diving course will open the way to the beautiful world under the water and diving will easily become a lifelong hobby for them.

Why start diving with Divers Direct?

• Individual approach. One instructor teaches a maximum of 4 students at a time
• You decide the date of the course. Individual lessons are arranged individually with the instructor according to your time availability
• Experiencedprofessional instructors.
• We consider quality training important for both safety and environmental reasons. A good diver knows how to dive safely and efficiently, while not devastating the world below or above the water surface with his/her activities.
• As operators of the diving pit at Aquapalace Praha in Čestlice, we have amazing facilities and pleasant conditions for learning.
• Thanks to the diving pit, not only will you be trained in shallow water during the pool part of the course, but you will also have the opportunity to look down to a depth of eight meters and practice descents and ascents so that you go into the open water completely prepared.
• We lend brand new sets of equipment as part of the course, so you don't have to worry about us putting you or your loved ones in twenty year old wetsuits and ripped jackets during training - everything is of the highest possible standard with us.
• Our students are free insured with DiveAssure for the duration of the course. The insurance covers the treatment of decompression sickness in novice students during their training in starter programmes and is internationally valid.
• It doesn't end with our OWD course! Divers Direct regularly organises day and weekend events and dive trips for members of their club. And perhaps directly at these events you can continue with follow-up courses. At the same time, from the start of the OWD course you have a 10% discount in our dive shop in Dejvice on all diving equipment.

Course flow:

• 5-6 lessons in the pool and diving pit
• 4 dives in open water
• follow-up theoretical lessons

The length of each lesson depends on your skill and agreement with the instructor. One pool lesson usually lasts 1.5 hours. You study the theory individually and the instructor will go over the essentials with you and explain any uncertainties if necessary. The length of the lessons therefore depends mainly on the thoroughness of your preparation.

The OWD course is suitable for children aged 12 and over. For children under 15 years old, we recommend that they do the course at the same time as their parents or accompanied by whoever they will be diving with after completing the course.
